<p>
However, in some Scheme dialects one can also use <code>define</code> in all or most contexts (definition contexts), so that one does not need to use <code>letrec</code>.

However, in Scheme dialects, it is called <code class="src src-scheme">(call-with-current-continuation ...)</code> instead. One could write a macro transforming it into <code class="src src-scheme">(letrec ...)</code> though.
